“so blind and dead does the clamor of our own practical interests make us to all other things... Only your mystic, your dreamer, or your insolvent tramp of loafer can afford an occupation that will change the usual standards of human value in the twinkling of an eye... which it takes a hardworking conventional man a life time to build up.”

William James 1842 – 1910 CE
"Father of American psychology”
from On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings (1939)
